Default Geneva Visit

I went to the auto show in Geneva today and had a close look at the new GT3. It is very impressive in the flesh. Low, wide and aggressive. The new wheels does look absolutely great. Sitting inside it does feel different to the outgoing model. A lot more "luxurious".

Race Track button calls Porsche to terminate your warranty, don't touch it.

I hope there is "one button to rule them all", like M-button in BMW.

Thanks StirlingMoss, anyone know what the race track button exactly does. I assume prime all the gizmo's for ultimate laptime, but how?

Race track button is for when the PDK is in fully automated (i.e. adaptive shift mode). There are two settings if you dont wish to pull your own shifts (sport which is default and race mode). See below.

I for one thought that was a low button count for a modern car. If you dont take the lift option its 5 buttons...

Turning a car into FULLy AUTOMATIC transmission mode, and then calling the button to do so "Race Track" is comical.
